Author's Note

So I bet a LOT of people are confused. In this story, SHE is not a pronoun but a name Luna uses for Nightmare Moon. Just a heads-up before you start reading :)

Luna

Something is Wrong

With the way I talk today, pretending I'm okay,
because okay is a societal standard.

I'm supposed to lift my head up high, pretending
that SHE isn't a threat. That SHE hasn't died.

I'm supposed to say the "truth".
But the real truth is: I'm not okay.

I just wish SHE
would die.

But SHE Hasn't

And I have to deal with it all.
I loathe it. I wish for SHE's heart
to cease its beating.
~~And I want her poor soul to rest~~
And I want SHE's soul in Tartarus.

It's the Way I Trudge

That concerns my sister. She wants
me to eat more. ~~Like my counterpart~~
~~is~~ Like I would want to. Celestia says
that she knows I'm tired. Oh, she
has no idea. Absolutely no idea.

Celestia thinks she knows what I'm
stressed about. "Stressed". I am way
more than stressed. I shiver every
night, terrified that SHE will escape
her hospital bed, coming for me.

I post extra guards outside my room,
not to protect myself but give them an
excuse to kill SHE. And I don't have an
appetite anymore; it disgusts me, the
rate which my sister chomps on food.

And I refuse to come anywhere where
SHE might be hidden from my sight,
the psychiatrist sure that I will launch
at SHE every chance I get. No one will
stop me. I will ~~end her pain~~ kill SHE.

But Today,

Today is a special day. The one-month
anniversary of SHE's coming. SHE was
resistant, but couldn't resist. SHE's
legs were weak. All of SHE was weak.

SHE couldn't even scream. SHE tried
to move, but as soon as SHE was
aware of what was going on, SHE was
already strapped on to the stretcher.

That night was the last time I saw
SHE. The flashing lights, the urgent
letter from Twilight Sparkle~~The~~
~~fear in SHE's eyes~~ the cowardly face.

That was straight after the last time I
ever forgave myself. ~~Celie~~ Celestia and
I were best friends. Sisters. Forever.
Except for that agonizing millenia.
